Abstract

This research investigates the effectiveness of AI generative ChatGPT as a teacher assistant to reduce workload and prevent burnout in secondary schools. Lesson planning and content development were significant contributors to teacher burnout. In response, ChatGPT was tested with tailored queries for English, science, and math subjects, utilising an explanatory research approach to assess ChatGPT’s capabilities in personalised planning and content development, given that there is limited available information around this topic. The study highlights ChatGPT’s benefits in personalised planning through task-specific prompts and AI-human collaboration. Aligned with UAE’s AI integration objectives, the study emphasises balanced use and educational reform potential. Integrating AI tools optimises teacher planning, enhances instructional support, and refines resource allocation, contributing to AI’s academic potential while stressing burnout mitigation’s importance for educational advancement.

人工智能拯救:探索ChatGPT作为教师盟友的潜力，以减轻工作量和预防倦怠

本研究调查了人工智能生成ChatGPT作为中学教师助理在减少工作量和防止职业倦怠方面的有效性。课程规划和内容开发是教师职业倦怠的重要因素。作为回应，ChatGPT针对英语、科学和数学科目进行了量身定制的查询测试，利用解释性研究方法来评估ChatGPT在个性化规划和内容开发方面的能力，因为围绕这个主题的可用信息有限。该研究强调了ChatGPT通过特定任务提示和人工智能-人类协作在个性化规划方面的好处。与阿联酋的人工智能整合目标一致，该研究强调平衡使用和教育改革潜力。整合人工智能工具优化了教师规划，增强了教学支持，并优化了资源分配，有助于人工智能的学术潜力，同时强调了缓解倦怠对教育进步的重要性。
